Where are the gas artillery rounds?

I think, like a lot of WARPAC theories, the gas and chemicals were expected to be beneficial in the initial shock. They seem to have been very very focused on driving a resolution in a very short amount of time, so it makes sense to hit them with /everything/ you have and try to overwhelm the opposition.

Of course, plans like that don't always work out right as basically any modern military operation can attest to. (maybe the recent scuffle in Georgia is a notable exception?)
